The Big Lebowski (Rerun)

In 1998 the Coen brothers released The Big Lebowski and the theaters were half-empty. However, the film has since spurred a cult-like following revolving around its protagonist, The Dude; a dopey but profound conscientious objector to all human conflict with his own special brand of zen. Part slacker manifesto, part sun-drenched noir, the film follows his quest to receive penance for a soiled rug and unravels into a wild goose chase involving all sorts of inherent vice.In this classic episode from the Pop & Locke vault, Julian Sanchez and Akiva Malamet join us to discuss the essence of the Coen Brothers’ famous character, the hidden nods to Wagner, and what the film has to say about nihilist philosophy. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
